The Merit ** Refrigerator Lies in its being able to keep an even cool temperature with the least pos- sible consumption of ice. We can recommend three makes— the Alaska, the Glacier and the Polar. These refrigerators are built solidly, made of hardwood, with closest joints—substantial linings, and fillings that are non-conductors of heat and cold. They keep the cold air in—thus preserving the ice— and keep the hot air out. Never a complaint or dissatisfaction with any of these makes.

He made no attempt, she says, to stop her, but told her to go on and take it; that he FILES AN ANSWER. . Mrs. Reinberg Gives Her Version of Domestic Infelicity. Philip Walker, solicitor for Mrs. Nora J. Reimberg, today filed an answer for his client to the action for divorce instituted by her husband, Louis Arthur Reinberg. Mrs. Reinberg denies that she ever treated her husband with great cruelty or personal abuse, as alleged, or that she has ever been addicted to the use of chloroform or opium. She denies that she ever tried to kill the plaintiff or ever threatened his life; that she ever threw ice water upon him when he was ill with chills and fever, or that she ever cracked glass and ordered the serv- ant to mix it with his food. denies also that she threw dishes at him. Mrs. Reinberg admits that when she came from Arkansas to marry her husband she brought a small bottle of chloroform which she used for relief from violent headache. She admits that she once took laudanum, in January of this year, but she avers that she took the same with suicidal intent, ing thereunto impelled by the cruel be- | § was glad of it. A fatal result was prevent- ed only by her taking an overdose. Mrs. Reinberg admits that on one occa- sion she chased the petitioner “from the house with a knife. She ayers that her husband had the same morning beat her because she told him he was a puppy for refusing to get up and split the kindling, he claiming that it was her business to do this and not his.

It. > GENERAL WHEELER’S REPORT (Copyright, 1898, by the Associated Press.) Sidoney, Province of Santiago de Cuba, June 28, via Kingston, Jamaica, June. 29, a.m.—It is reported here tonight on apparently good authority that the water supply of Santiago de Cuba has been cut off. If this proves true, the city is at our mercy. General Wheeler today forwarded his offl- cial report of the encounter between ihe Spaniards and Col. ¥oung’s and Col. Wood’s commands. The officers are highly com- plimented for their dash and courage. The gereral says there is absolutely no warrant for the statement that our troops were ambuscaded. He says the attack was deliberately planned, from knowledge in his possession, the night before. : Details of the Cutting. A copyrighted special cable dispatch from Camp Sabinilia, near Santiago de Cuba, dated June 27, to the New York Journal, published today, gives these details: As nobody in the doomed Spanish strong- hold could have conceived that the Ameri- cans would cut the big water mains there is no question but that there is very little between the city and a water famine. Only the rainy season can help them, and the weather is fighting on the side of the Americans. The Cubans say it will be three weeks at least before the clouds open and let loose the floods. What water there 1s will undoubtedly be reserved for the use of the Spanish troops. This means the practical abandonment of Santiago as a city. The Americans will Permit women and children at least to pass through the lines to safety. When they are gone Santiago will be nothing but a fortified camp, a fit object for bombard- ment and destruction. Destroyed Every Pipe. It was the Cubans that discovered that the city’s water mains could be reached and destroyed. They reported this to Gen. Wheeler. At o'clock last night the engineer corps went out on the Santiago road and crept up to within a mile of the rifle pits that guard the city. Every conduit and water pipe was de- stroyed. If the Spaniards were aware of this awful act of warithé¥ made no sign. Their campfires dotteg hi} and plain al- most within vifle range,of where Gen. Shaf- ter’'s men were breaking:down aqueducts and tearing up pipes. The Cubans say that® without the water supply Gen. Linares miust evacuate Santi- ago, as the cistern suppiy jvill not be ‘suf- ficient for such an army as he has massed there. The American‘ofiéers have figured out, howe: thet he'can’ put his men on water an@’“taat, though they may suffer consideraMy fYom thirst, the rain water will pull thém tHrough. The destruction of Sdhtia& by fire is now an assured thing. As ston ‘ds the shells get to bursting in the town everything inflam- mable will go, as the, Spapiards will not dare to use their scantisupply of water for fire department purposes, =! os PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATIONS.

WHEELER CLIMBS A TREE SS The American front has been advanced beyond the first crossing of the Rio Gu- ama, about a mile, and a tug lies three and a half miles from the Spanish in- trenchments. This news 1s contained in 2n Associated Press copyrighted dispatch, dated “at the front, on the Rio Guama, June “7, noon, via Kingston, Jamaica, June 28,” and it goes on to say: General Lawton’s brigade rests on the road to Santiago de Cuba. The 3d Brigade, under General Chaffee, the 17th, 12th and 7th Regiments, holds the trench, with his command lying across the road and river. The 1st Brigade, the 8th, 22d and 2d Mas- sachusetts, under General Evan Clarke, lies on the left flank, slightly in the rear, and the 2d Brigade, the Ist, 4th and 25th, occupies the cpposite position on the right flank. General Wheeler, with the cavalry, fs in the rear, between Sevilla hills and the Rio Guama. A strong line of outposts is main- tained ahead. General Chaffee’s brigade, with 3,000 Cubans under General Aguirra, and several hundred under Colonel Gon- zales, was skirmishing toward the city this morning. The Cubans had several slight skirmishes with the Spaniards siationed on the hills on the American right flank, and our aux- iliaries occupied the block houses in that vicinity, which were evacuated before day- break by the Spaniards. The latter re- treated toward Santiago de Cuba. No fa- talities reported. General Lawton, General Chaffee and General Wheeler have thoroughly recon- noitered the Spanish position, and with the aid of information furnished by the Cu- bans have very good maps of the roads and defenses of the city. Much information has also been obtained from Spanish paciticos, who have slipped out of the city and given themselves up in the hope of getting food. They report great starvation and distress in Santiago. Aid Reaches Linares. The most startling information obtained from the pacificos is that since the ad- vance began almost 20,000 Spanish soldiers have arrived at Santiago de Cuba. This statement is made on the authority of General Lawton, and he is also of the epinion that General Pando may be able to effect a junction with General Linares at Santiago de Cuba. There are two forts of considerable im- portance within the Spanish lines—Punta Blanco, at the southern end of the bay, and Santa Ursula, at the southeast corner. On the read to Caney, on the north, is an- other fort. There are about 450 men in each of these fortifications, and stretch- ing around the whole city are nine barbed- wire fences, fifty yards apart, while just inside these are lines of rifle pi Outside, to the eastward, about two miles beyond the American outposts, is a line of intrenchments extending from the nogth- ern extremity of the city to Morro Castle. A little west of south, at a distance of about seven miles from General Lawton’s headquarters, lies Morro Castle. The road to within a few hundred yards of the bat- terles at the rear of Morro was reconnoi- tered yesterday afternoon by General Chat- fee and several members of his staff. The Cubans believe that if the water sup- ply of the city can be cut off Santiago will have to yield at once. They say that Ad- miral Cervera’s entire fleet, except the tor- pedo-boats destroyer Terror, is in the har- bor. General Lawton is inclined to dis- credit the reports that guns have been taken from the ships to strengthen the de- fenses on land. He says it would be impo: sible for Admiral Cervera to reach the po- sition of the American army with his big guns from where the Spanish ships lie. Onward Movement Postponed. No aggressive move by the Americans is anticipated for several days. The road to the base cf supplies must be greatly im- proved befvre the onward movement can be safely made At orescat it taxes the quartermaster’s department to tle utmost to get provisions and ammunition. Last night one pack train arrived with supplies sufficient to last until tonight, and as this dispatch is being written another train of ammunition is coming in. A train of ammunitiun has reached General Chaffee’s brigade. and a battery of Gatling guns and dynamite guns, attached to the rough riders, has been moved to General Wheeler's camp. There is no high ground in the present position where Hotchkiss or Gatling guns could be put in position, but a attie rurther on is grosd where guns can be mounted and from v.hich an effective fire ean be Ji- rected) at the Spanish entrenchments. ‘There were no alarms last night. Gen. Calixto Garcia, with 300 men, who landed yesterday, is expectei ty reach the front toda: Americans in Good Health. The Americans are in excellent + and there is a remarkable la :k of sickness. Thus far the water supply has been good, and there have been no bad effecis f:0m the change, except a few cases of dysen- tery. There was a brief rain squall last night. At noon today Major Coolidge received orders to clear the road beyond the front, where the stream doubles back across it, for the advance of artillery. A dynamite gun and a Hotchkiss gun will be put in po- sition. General Wheeler, who made a reconnois- ance. for half a mile beyond the skirmish lines this morning, finding that he was un- able to secure the desired view tnrough the luxuriant tropical foliage, dismounted and climbed a tree. The Report Contradicted. Denial of the report that reinforcements have reached Gen. Linares is afforded by the following dispatch pubiished in the New York Herald today, dated at Juragua Monday last: Information has been <eceived here from Manzanillo to the effect that fiv2 battalions of Spanish troops which left that city sev- eral days ago to reinforce Gen. Linares re- turned to Manzanillo two days after their departure. > This is by far the most important news received today. It is regarded as indicating the failure of the Spanish atiemp:, under command of Gen. Pando, to rush 10,000 trained troops to the defense of Santiago. Gen. Pando, as has. been tod in former dispatches, began a desp2rate effort co get his troops to Santiago as soon as it was known that the Americans would iand and begin the invasion of Cuba in that vicin- ity. He commands the most fnpertant body of Spanish troops, aside from Gen. Linares’ forces, in eastern Cuba, He.was ordered by Cap® Gen. Blanc8 to proce2d with all possible haste toward San- tiago, and the Spaniards based their only ‘hope of ‘repelling the invasion en the ae arrival of Pando's foices about Gem Garcia, the moment he heard of Pando’s advancé, grasped the importance of the mov2ment and bent all ais energies to intercept the Spanish trosps. He sent out his most trusted scouts and gave explicit Anstructions that they should report to him at the.earliest moment. 5 : To Intercept Bando. . ‘These scouts made hazardous journeys to the west and north of Santlago.

They believe that Pando’s men either were un- equal to the difficult march irom Manzan- illo to Santiago, or else that Gen. Linary realizing the hopelessness of his position, sent word that it was us2less to send these additional troops to that point. If Gen. Pando succeeded in forming a junction with Gen.
